I downloaded the XP11 demo to try out as I'd like to fly more 'seriously', learn more about navigation, flight planning etc as at the moment my primary flight sim is DCS, which I love and it looks superb but it's light on those features because that's not its primary focus. I expected a lot from XP11 having seen and read a few things and seen the hype in here but the demo really left me cold. I played the tutorial missions and on the pattern one the demo just timed out mid flight so I didn't even get to put her back down again. The other ones were literally about 5 minute segments, barely enough to even judge anything from. I thought I'd jump in something else and try a big jet (I'm used to single seat fighters after all) but had no idea which airport it chose and every one that I did chose just spawned me at some blank space with an airstrip or at a runway which looked like it was straight out of the 90s in terms of graphics. The plane interiors looked awful too. Not the sharp fidelity I'm used to at all.

A tweet from X-Planes Official twitter called it a Public Beta. So there may be bugs and such that wont appear in the final version on release day.
My specs are good as well. I run DCS pretty much maxed out. Am I missing something here?
I want to give it another go, so any tips would be muchly appreciated - like how to get a proper feel for the game from the demo. Ok, so I had another go. Flew the 737-800 (Think that's correct). Set my graphics settings to high/er to achieve a heady 30fps. On an i56600k/GTX1070, wow.
This is tougher on systems than Arma3 and that's saying something. Took off from the proper airport that you're supposed to use.
Managed to fumble my way around the cockpit enough to trim it into level flight at around 10,000 feet and tried not to look at the gazillion switches and buttons, luckily the regular flight controls are pretty much the same for all planes. Had a different experience with it and quite enjoyed it. Settings were default to high as I'm using an i56600k/GTX1070. If stock planes are kinda crap then how to I get a feel for this game from the demo if all I have is stock planes? Because to be quite honest the demo pretty much put me off the game rather than pulling me in and it's not like I don't like flying and flight sims.
